I Hope

For the glory of the LORD Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. He died for you and for me. Praise His most holy Name.

Rising up, the crashing waves, where is love and good and faith All the darkness closed on down, a shadow showing, moving smiles to frowns Where is kindness, where is light, why have we turned to such blight And now it’s come, it’s here right now, and do we even stop to pray, to bow No, for we have forsaken good, we have left what for once we stood Morals left to die, void are we and full of lies Hope and peace has left our hearts, as if we’ve never known it, sun and day has turned to dark and night as if we’ve always done this But will we stand against this night, will this twilight of hearts we fight I long and urge and hope we do, I hope we turn to You
